Boys' heaven

Since early summer, the road in front of our house is being redone. The construction workers had to rip up the old road, lay down new pipes, put down new gravel/dirt, roll over it a half dozen times, take a whole bunch of days off, put down more gravel/dirt, roll over it a half dozen times (again), move their portable toilet from in front of our friends' house to the lawn of their neighbours across the street, have coffee, have beer, put down more gravel/dirt, roll over it a half dozen times (again,again) and create lots of dust (not to mention wreck our lawns) ;) Anyway, the boys absolutely LOVE it- seriously. It is a version of their heaven. If TV is boring or I take away their tablets, they have entertainment just outside OUR window!

Today, they are laying down the asphalt... more noise, house shaking and machines ;) Oliver insisted that we watch. I think that the workers are creeped out by me, just watching them (and taking pictures). Maybe they think that I will complain... I don't think that they would ever believe that I am going to write a blog post all about them ;) Or that I will call them "boys' heaven" ;)

Me....

and my blog....

My name is Celena. I live in a house with 4 boys: my 3 sons and my husband ;) Originally from Montreal, I have lived in Sweden and Denmark (where I met and married my husband) and am now back in Montreal (my Swedish husband's idea). Scientist/teacher by profession, I also have a side that loves photography, fashion, design, good food, good wine and all that is cosy. This blog is where I get to explore all of these things :) Hope that you can hang out and share a little bit of my day-to-day with me.
